Quake City

Morning - up early, seeing Anton, Abby and Zane onto train bound for Picton, then on the ferry to Wellington to spend Christmas with their mother. Into town for Dave's blood thinning jab.

Home, Kariba home and then...

1.58pm Quake #1, 5.8, 8kms deep
2.06pm Quake #2, 5.3, 10kms deep
....4.2, 4.8, 4.4, 3.7....
3.18pm Quake #6, 6.0, 6kms deep
...4.6, 4.4, 5.0, 4.0, 3.7, 3.6...
7.53pm Quake #13, 3.9, 5kms deep....

Its now 9.02pm. Mum has come over to spend the night as she didn't want to be by herself. Could be a bad night.

We are all distressed that this is not over. Those interested can see activity here on Geonet. News here on Stuff.

hpx and be@nz sum it up well.

Back to square one it seems. No reported fatalities thank goodness. Please think of us and wish us a quiet night. Thanks Blippers.
